Getting Windows installed on SSD, setting SSD as main(?) drive?Hi there,
I just recently bought a new laptop, which has a SSD and a HDD. The plan was to install the OS and my main programs on the SSD, with everything else on the HDD. Things didn't seem to go to plan.
I'm not quite sure what's actually happened, but it seems like the OS has installed itself...

Installation & Setup
